I felt my bones shiver
Across rifts of time
I saw ghosts in the mist
And their faces like mine
Then I looked to the footsteps
And gazed on a sign
That said, "Call my name
I'll join in the fight"
Broken and withered
We will rise again
My brothers and sisters
In death we are friends
Incandescent together
A slow fadin' light
The efforts cascadin'
Our time is tonight
Fractured and feeble
Ordinary people
Puttin' resolve to the test
Nobody chose to be risen
But new life is given
When we light a bonfire to rest
Old friends and rivals
We sit by the flame
To share in the moment
Before we can claim
Our own destiny's purpose
In each of our homes
We've all got our battles
But no one's alone
Nameless and searchin'
The light keeps us warm
In need and in danger
It guides through the storm
As we share in a question
Will we meet again?
To sing by the embers
And brace for the end
Fractured and feeble
Ordinary people
Puttin' resolve to the test
Nobody chose to be risen
But new life is given
When we light a bonfire to rest
Undyin' forever
Through war and dark weather
Bindin' to search for a light
Some lit by grace or by embers
We're searchin' together
Starved for that break from the fight
Swords losin' sharpness
To angels and darkness
These soldiers push on through the mire
Now we're all faced with the endin'
The burn before mendin'
A vision to let there be fire
Fractured and feeble
Ordinary people
Puttin' resolve to the test
Nobody chose to be risen
But new life is given
When we light a bonfire to rest
